I disagree with this: free speech is sacrosanct in the free world. 'Well researched journalism pieces' are all too often written by salaried employees of organizations with a mission to push a political slant and/or agenda. The idea that the material published by these businesses is 'fair and balanced' has never been true as the long a sordid history of yellow journalism proves.

There is no shortage of good investigative writers but a dearth of editors who will publish their work. That material is now largely to be found online rather than under corporate 'news' mastheads.
